About
HTMLcoin is an (originally) older cryptocurrency who's value was brought all the way down to 1 satoshi after a '51% attack' (an attack by miners temporarily 'controling' the coin). Meanwhile, it's original founder has been planning a coin swap set to complete in october this year that should implement Ethereum-like smart-contract capabilities. It had a temporary 500% price surge after a cryptocurrency trader picked it up on Twitter, but is now back hovering around 2-3 satoshi.
Details
From Q4 onwards, HTMLcoin is supposed to be a "Bitcoin-Ethereum hybrid". It essentially combines Bitcoins' codebase with Ethereums' EVM; Ethereum Virtual Machines. This enables it to run not only smart contracts, but also decentralized applications, or Dapps. A much hyped technology. It even borrows some of Qtums' technology, called 'Account Abstraction Layer', this supposedly allows smart contracts and Dapps to run in environments "not possible before". Essentially, that makes it a hybrid of 3 cryptocurrencies. Last but not least, they added a feature called Real Time Checkpointing, aimed to protect it's blockchain in the case of another 51% attack. That all sounds pretty neat, doesn't it?
Bad bits
"Dude, you're so bullish, they must be paying you to write this down!" Not really. And there is something. There's the massive 40 bilion coins currently in circulation, for example. Or their lack of a very specific 5-year vision or clear use case. However, i don't see these 'bad bits' outweigh the good in short-term. After all, even with that high coin supply, a 20x price increase will still only put it around 50th place by market cap.
Conclusion
This coin is (once again) about as cheap as they get, after it's already seen a 500% return before the swap was even activated. That swap is now well underway and is set to complete in october. After, it's smart-contract and decentralized-app tech puts it (in part) in line with the likes of Ethereum and NEO. Considering it's extremely low current price and potential technology, i think HTMLcoin is an investment opportunity with a very positive risk/reward ratio that should not be missed.
